Aromatherapy Using Essential Oils for Children's Headaches
Children get headaches for many of the same reasons adults do, but many parents feel more comfortable treating them with natural remedies rather than chemical-based ones. Essential oils offer safe, natural solutions for treating children's headaches.
Essential Oils & Air Therapy for Children's Headaches
Peppermint oil has been found to be effective against headaches and can be used safely when diffused into the air. Our Headache Relief essential oil blend, containing peppermint and lavender, is also a good choice. Spearmint oil has similar effects to peppermint but is slightly milder. Lavender oil and chamomile oil are also safe choices for even the youngest children's headaches. To help provide headache relief, infuse the air in your child's room or play area using an ultrasonic diffuser.
Essential Oil Baths for Children's Headaches
A good way to help ease children's headaches is to help them relax. A nice, soothing bath can to just the trick. Our essential oil baby bath products are all good choices for this purpose. Follow up with our Organic Soothe Baby & Children's lotion to moisturize their skin and to let the soothing scents linger.
On-the-Go Wellness Solutions for Children's Headaches
Our Headache Relief Roll-on is a convenient and safe choice to carry with you when you go out. Because this solution is topically applied, use it only on children 7 or older. Another alternative is to add a drop of any of the essential oils listed here to a tissue and give it to your child to breathe in deeply.
